What do you want to . Stick with it for a bit .. Or. .. Star a new game together

That is the question that our alliance are facing. The game has huge potential, but after the last update, they killed. Who wants to spend 30 minutes waiting for the troops to be ready, just to go and raid for 2 minutes, and get less than 20,000 of loot? Or wait 3-4 days for an upgrade? So..... Wait or move to another game?

For my own part, I've chosen to give them a few weeks. I'm in the software industry-- you do NOT want them deploying changes as soon as it compiles.

I'm 'sticking it out' at Medieval, so I don't have to bother with attacks from cheating high-level players (what cheater with infinite resources is going to stick around at 'Gunpowder' level?). I'm getting decent income raiding in the 500-700 trophy range and I rarely have downtime that lasts more than a few minutes between fights. (Troop comp is 10-11 heavy cavs, 4 raiders, mix-and-match archers and infantry fillers and a general primarily on cleanup detail so she's not out of action for 24 hours)

After the recent gods-awful AI patch, I have had to seriously rethink HOW and WHO I raid, but in many cases troop pathing can still be predicted to some degree.

Don't get me wrong-- I refuse to spend any more money with BHG until they fix several things to my satisfaction (primarily the cheating and the AI), but I am willing to endure the game itself a bit longer.

Yes, just switch to casual mode, don't spend money, do cheap/long upgrades. Let's give them a chance. That's weird how IT people think alike lol ))) I have exactly the same opinion like OMGcat, even though I suffer from all of it much more in early enlightement.

At low medals in gunpowder the cheaters seem to be helping to be honest. It's nice to come across a maxed out untended enlightenment base with no walls. After several days, the 200k+ gold will be in the caravans

 

[This game is laggy]

I agree with what Cat Treats is saying, including the part about using generals for cleanup duty - generals are the new janitors.

Raiding is still doable but I have to be much more selective with which bases I attack. Even so, I lose more cavalries than before.

Also my medal count is currently 700+.
